LifeWork Letter On Living in the Now
November 2007

Greetings!

Welcome to LifeWork Letter!

Where in time do you focus your attention? Is it in the past, the present, or the future? Some people linger a long time in memories of the past. Some focus mostly on fantasies about the future. Relatively few people keep their attention primarily in the Now, living life moment by moment.

Our theme for this month is Living in the Now. Many teachers write about this, including Eckhart Tolle, author of The Power of Now, and Ram Dass,the author of our theme quote and a book by that name.

Recently, I have posted several articles in my blog that relate to this topic. Three of the articles below are linked to my blog, Life Coaching - Designing Your Life. Feel free to visit and share your thoughts, ideas, and responses.

Yours in the Now,

Connie

    Living in the Now

    There is no better way I can think of to begin our exploration of the power of living in the now than to take 3 minutes to experience the online meditation Right Now, presented by The Daily Motivator. Clicking on the link below will bring you there.

    Please come back and read our other offerings after you have experienced life Right Now. Enjoy!


    Goal-Free Living: A Book Review and More

    Goal-Free Living - what does that mean? Does it mean that we abandon all goals and just float through life like a leaf on a river, going wherever the current takes us?

    This is the question I asked my colleague, Steve Shapiro, about a year ago upon the publication of his book, Goal-Free Living: How to Have the Life You Want NOW! (Stephen M. Shapiro, John Wiley & Sons, 2006).


    Plan to Be Surprised

    Last evening I saw a delightful movie - the newly released Dan in Real Life. Dan Burns (superbly played by Steve Carell) is a widower and the father of three girls, ages 8 to 17. He is also the writer of a "Dear Dan" - type newspaper column in which he dispenses advice on relationships and family life - advice he doesn't always heed himself. I'll forgo discussing the storyline so that you might have the pleasure of seeing it unfold for yourself. But this, I'll share. In this movie, there are some wonderful one- liners, and one that stood out for me was the very last line of the movie: Plan to be surprised.


    Don't Wait. Carpe Diem!

    Carpe Diem. Latin for "seize the day".

    This is written especially for the procrastinators out there (me included).

    Three recent events in my life have converged like a perfect storm to bring home to me the importance living life full out in every moment, hitting all the high spots, and not letting the important stuff slide.

    I believe that true happiness and fulfillment comes to us when we know who we are, when we are comfortable and confident living in our own skin, when we know what we want from Life, and when we focus our best efforts on going for our dream - whatever that may be. Whether you are an individual or a business, I support you in this quest.
